S2E12 Scaling up ferments whilst preserving flavour

[Level: beginner]

This week we dive into the joys and pains of running a shop in fermented goodies. Ezio Bertorelli runs Meta Ferments together with his girlfriend Romina Navarro. At Meta Ferments, they produce delicious artisanal ferments like miso, tamari and shio koji. Besides selling mouth-watering fermented goodies, Ezio helps third parties in the development of fermented products. We talk about how he turned from being a Michelin-trained chef to a shop owner, the joys and pains of scaling up a fermentation and how he ensures every ferment remains of super high quality.
